        A high-quality product

        Super product with an impeccable finish.
        The stylus and the feel when holding it is intuitive.
        I would recommend this product.

        Good product

        Very good product. I already own a cintiq 13 HD and wanted to upgrade to a larger size but without cluttering up my desk. The size is perfect: more comfort for drawing and I have the space to slide a keyboard next to it (or in front of it).
        I'm very happy with the size of the Cintiq 13HD, but I'm not using it. I'm very happy with the precision and the size of the keyboard. Very satisfied. The precision is there and the parallax is low.
        Latency almost imperceptible. If you have latency on photoshop or Krita do a tour in your settings in the graphics acceleration.

        There is better but it is much more expensive.

        satisfied

        I'm very happy with this product. I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product.
        I'm very pleased with the Wacom cintiq16 product, no surprises and what was expected. just not easy to organize 3 screens including one in displayport and more difficult in fact than with my intuo pro medium

        Very good buy for the price

        Very happy with this purchase. Everything becomes easy and natural with the Cintiq. Layers in Photoshop make even more sense.
        The portability is a problem for me as I don't have a fixed desk so I have to move the tablet from time to time! The optional stand is super stable but very bulky.
        The fact that there are no buttons on the tablet is an advantage for me, as it gives more room for drawing.
        To conclude, it was a lot of fun (I rediscovered the taste for matte painting and drawing from my childhood: Luky Luke, Ligne claire...)

        A real treat

        The ideal material for any beginner or professional who does not have much money.
        However, the lead of the stylus wears out quickly because of the "paper" texture of the glass. The adjustable stand is indispensable.

        Practical but expensive (!!)

        Great for using the tablet as a second screen and lowering it to draw on.

        A bit expensive though for what it is...

        Excellent product

        Excellent graphics tablet. The quality of the finish is impeccable. The pleasure of drawing is very present. The pen is perfect, ergonomic, it restitutes perfectly the pressure and the orientation.
        Perfectly recognized under Linux Mint (Tricia), coupled with the Krita software it is really top!
        The only drawback is the large, short cables that are quite invasive on the desk.
        I would definitely recommend this product and LDLC. I've been using it for a while now and it's really good.

        Very satisfied

        I bought this graphics tablet for my wife and she is very happy with it. It will change her life compared to a basic tablet. I have known this brand for years and it is well known in the graphic design industry.

        I highly recommend this tablet for people who don't have a huge budget, it's the right compromise I think.

        Excellent Cintiq graphics tablet at a very reasonable price

        I bought this tablet to replace my previous Wacom Intuos 4 Large which was already a good tablet in itself, but I had some personal coordination problems. The Cintiq models were way too expensive to begin with and competing tablets, such as Huoin or XP-Pen, have known problems that can give you a headache (not very smooth drivers, pen running out of batteries, calibration problems, inability to use the pen on the edges of the screen, etc).

        What changes in principle on this Cintiq 16 model? No touch function, but I see that technically as an advantage because it avoids the mandatory wearing of gloves fighting the confusing spasm of other Cintiq tablets detecting bare fingers. Full HD screen resolution (1920x1080 pixels) on the normal model whereas the 16 Pro uses 4K. And colour fidelity is less by default (72% gamut) but quite decent overall.

        Apart from these three points, it's pretty much the same as other so-called professional Cintiq tablets, and at over 1000 euros less it's still a very good deal. It's responsive, Krita and Clip Studio work great, and I really feel like I'm drawing on paper. The Wacom quality is very good.

        However, I would note a few shortcomings that may annoy some users who are caught unawares:
        -Allow for the purchase of the adjustable stand from Wacom (80€) on the total budget. The tablet itself has foldable legs but I didn't find them very stable at first glance, not to mention that the metal stand allows you to adjust the angle you want freely.
        -The 3-in-1 cables are indeed a bit short even if it doesn't bother me personally on my desk, but you don't want the tablet to be far from the PC tower, 1m is the maximum.

        Finally a wacom tablet that combines performance with a low price!

        What can I say, except that this is one of the best experiences I've had with a graphics tablet!
        Wacom has finally understood that they need to counter the competition by offering a good quality product at a competitive price. And let's talk about the price! It is not less than 1000€ less than its big sister the cintiq 16 pro, and for what difference? The touch mode is not included (for me personally), the resolution is reduced from 4k to full HD (on a 16" screen, honestly, 4k is not necessary) and the gamut is reduced.
        So is it worth it to get the cintiq 16 rather than the pro? I'll tell you 100 times yes!
        The screen doesn't heat up, it's quiet, very responsive with very little parallax, the all-in-one cable well thought out. In short, a tablet that will suit both students and professionals.

        Now the question arises, "But is it worth it to get this Wacom when the competition offers the same thing for a smaller price and a larger screen? The answer is still yes.
        Although there are cheaper prices from other brands, you have to remember that you are buying a Wacom product. This means that you have a more stable and complete driver than the rest, a French-speaking after-sales service, and a certain guarantee that your product will work properly on your setup.

        So don't think about it, if you have a budget of 700€ (if you plan to take the adjustable stand) and you want quality, don't think about it anymore, go for the wacom cintiq 16!

        Quality ++ but ergonomics -

        This is my first graphics tablet, and the drawing feel, level of precision and quality of rendering are all right up to my expectations.

        I did notice a slight bug when using Photoshop. When I exit the application with the pen and return to it, the pointer sometimes stops working. I have to click on another tool and then click on the brush tool again to get it to work properly. I'll have to call customer service.

        It is not mentioned anywhere (on the Wacom and LDLC website) that the tablet requires an adapter to work on the Mac (HDMI to MiniDP). If I had known I would have ordered it at the same time as the tablet and saved a lot of time before I could get it up and running.

        I'm not happy with the 3-in-1 cable that powers the tablet, as the lengths of the cables don't necessarily match the positioning of the connected items - tablet, computer, power outlet - my desk is now filled with big, black, stiff cables. On all the tutorials and presentations of the tablet we see a beautiful design object with clean lines, practical, mobile, adaptable, etc.. This is not the case at all!
